Hi folks!
Bug#10039 exposed a problem with the "feature" of man to index all the
'man' and 'MAN' subdirectory it finds in the HOME and current directory,
when it is invoked.
This "feature" is of incredibly annoyance because it leaves a file
index.bt in those subdirectories.
I think that many of y

Hi folks!
Brian suggested in Jan (in private mail to Warwick) that we should have an
"ups-monitor" virtual package. This name is already used by two packages,
genpower and upsd, so this is just for documentation.
